Life in the city of Sylvaria was anything but dull. Situated in the prosperous country of Avalora, which belonged to the vast continent of Veridia, it was a bustling hub of commerce and culture. Despite the world's technological state resembling the Middle Ages, the city boasted a thriving aristocratic society.
I, Mart, was the only son of Gabriel and Romina, a loving and prosperous merchant couple. Our family, known as the Silverthorn Merchants, hailed from the distant land of Elmbrook. Renowned for our astute business acumen and the ability to secure lucrative trade deals, the Silverthorn Merchants were highly respected in both Elmbrook and Sylvaria.
Though I was only a year old, my parents doted on me endlessly. They showered me with love and nurtured my young mind, hoping to pass down their wisdom and merchant heritage. Our home in Sylvaria was a spacious manor, adorned with exquisite tapestries and filled with the aroma of wealth and success.
Every day, my parents would regale me with tales of their business ventures, teaching me about the art of negotiation, economics, and the importance of building a network of contacts. While other children my age played with toys, I immersed myself in the intricacies of the merchant trade. The city of Sylvaria offered ample opportunities for my parents to introduce me to influential figures and mentors who could help shape my future.
But on this particular day, boredom consumed me. Being confined to the manor at such a young age left me yearning for adventure beyond the gilded walls. The aristocratic society around me seemed enticing yet restrictive, and I longed to explore the vast landscapes that lay beyond the city's confines.
Little did I know that my desire for excitement and exploration would soon be granted, catapulting me into a world far beyond my imagination.
